BLACK MARKING
Corrosion-Resistant Laser Marking of Medical Devices
Black Marking with Ultrashort Pulse LasersThe Coherent optimized picosecond laser sub-system provides a turnkey solution for permanent unique device identifier (UDI) marking of stainless steel devices. It delivers a contamination-free, sub-surface mark with very high contrast without the corrosion/passivation and fading that is associated with conventional thermal laser marking.
The same sub-system, using the same optical configuration can be used to mark other materials as well, e.g. titanium, anodized aluminum, and even plastic material like PEEK/PPSU. This saves costs and increases efficiency.
PowerLine Rapid NXDedicated Laser Sub-System for Corrosion-Resistant Marks
